They’ve not been conflated in the USA, and I believe you’ve claimed to be an American. And it’s not about labeling, it’s about what you value and your...

“She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!" Trump tweeted yesterday. What a creep.

It’s not rationalizing. The article talks about meditation and such stuff.

No one has claimed otherwise. Ads influence, as you have admitted yourself.

You wrote that ads inform and in that sense they’re influential. The information contained within ads is received from the ads and our actions may be ...

You admitted that ads influence with the following: Then you claimed that, due to the first law of motion, ads cannot act upon (influence) buyers. Thi...

This is mind-numbingly self-contradictory. You agree with ad influence (in one sense) and then claim that, due to the first law of motion, ads cannot ...

Say two companies want to sell similar consumer products. Company A hires an ad agency and spends a couple million on various forms of advertising. Co...

Embrace your discomfort and learn to live with it.

Since it appears to be a purely emotional issue for you, you might try an emotional appeal. I wouldn’t count on success though. You’ve made a rather b...

It appears that you also don’t find your explanation convincing, being that you don’t know what to say in response to a counter-view of it. I don’t kn...

There would be nothing to discuss if these people with no beliefs didn’t care that people with religious beliefs enjoyed a ‘special respect’ and toler...

I don't believe the first amendment says anything about special respect and tolerance for religious believers and their beliefs over non-believers and...

I can't seem to read between the lines very well today and can't find a reason or reasons why religious belief deserves special respect and tolerance ...

Can you offer a reason or reasons why?

This is true for Trump except that it’s designed specifically for his base rather than ‘the masses’ in general.

Exactly, and it currently serves crappy unhealthy fast food... https://media.newyorker.com/photos/5c3e10b2f92c694343cc71b9/master/w_727,c_limit/Rosner...

A high turnover rate indicates incompetence in management. Perhaps you can make an argument that a high turnover rate is somehow beneficial and reflec...

Well, no president has ever gone through four National Security Advisors within three years. Given the stakes involved, that degree of incompetence wo...

This implies that you believe minorities are unfortunate, so it appears that you despise support for the unfortunate. What kind of person are you?

Four National Security Advisors in three years is good reality TV, I guess, but it's shit management.

Spoken just like someone who’s never been a minority.

Bumbling narcissist who is incapable of admitting any faults. He seems to be getting worse lately. Perhaps dementia, or because he’s surrounded himsel...

Sorry to hear about your dental issues, and I hope it all turns out well. Implants or whatever can be very expensive. The idea of using meth for weigh...

You admit to lying? I've read a lot of your posts and I haven't seen anything heretical. What do you think is heretical?

As often as needed. Philosophy is pretty much worthless if you don't value truth, right?

Meth for weight loss? I can’t tell if you’re kidding.

A member of a philosophy forum who has a pattern of making wild claims and not supporting such claim should be banned, in my opinion.

So if you had a kid who took after you and wasn’t bright, would you prefer that teachers call him stupid or ‘academically challenged’?

Here’s a link to an article that I read back when the Trumpian nightmare began: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/30/political-correctness-...

What rules are you referring to exactly?

Go to the top of your web browser and in the address bar copy and paste: “rules of acceptable debate,” then hit return. You will then be presented wit...

Feigning ignorance of debate rules is clownish, if that's what you're asking. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/05/bf/e5/05bfe52166c1d00276b5a4268f70524d...

I’d hate to say ‘I told ya so’, if I did. :razz:

You can easily review any portion of creativesoul’s posts and see his sincerity for yourself, as well as get an idea of what acceptable debate is. It ...

Don’t forget the high quality abuse and ridicule thrown at you. You can’t get that just anywhere.

The abuse, accusations, and ridicule is all well deserted, I’m afraid. Members are banned all the time for low quality contributions. Not sure how low...

Frankly, I suspect that you haven’t been banned because you’re the only dissenter (Trump supporter) in this topic.

Let me put it this way, if you offered a higher standard of opposition no one would complain about its quality.

The forum is replete with opposition but of a higher standard.

How many more pages of his trolling do you need to convince you that he does not? There’s only one way to stop a troll from trolling and that is to de...

IPA still-life, inspired by yesterdays shoutbox. Might have turned out better without drinking it while painting. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...

Well, it’s not like there’s a lot of depth to fathom. :razz:

Utterly shameless.

This only makes your assessments less credible, if that’s possible, in that you acknowledge your lack of discernment regarding lies and tongue-n-cheek...

S stated that Trump has a tendency to both lie and exaggerate. You responded with “exactly.” So you acknowledged his tendency to lie.

As I just pointed out. You just acknowledged the lies, perhaps unwittingly but there it is for us all to see.

Over 12k lies since taking office is quite a stack indeed. You should learn to protect yourself from its influence.

And the lies from Trump that you have just acknowledged in this post?

The evidence shows you reacting to his words. Reacting childishly but reacting nevertheless.
